Tuna Salad

Like I mentioned in my Egg Salad post, my husband is working from home more and needs easy yet satisfying lunches to keep him fueled during the day. Besides the egg salad, I have been making him tuna salad quite a bit. This is definitely his version of tuna salad, as he prefers some crunchy vegetables in it (as well as more mayonnaise than I would like!).

(When I make tuna for myself, I actually normally don’t even use mayo. Shocking, I know. My secret is relish. It moistens everything up and adds a sweetness to counter the salty tuna. I love it just like that!)

The best part about tuna salad is how quick it is to make. You can make enough to make 4 sandwiches in a matter of minutes. I love to use it to make tuna melts, which was my favorite lunch in college (with extreme garlic fries!). Just toast some bread, add the tuna, top it with a slice of cheese, and put it under the broiler to warm the tuna and melt the cheese. Yum!
